Thank You – Intro to Mindfulness for Mental Health Professionals

Thank You for Signing Up to:
Intro to Mindfulness for Mental Health Professionals

Portland Mindfulness Therapy is excited to offer our Intro to Meditation Class to professionals in the mental health field in February 2014. This four-week class is perfect for practitioners in mental health field, offering mindfulness skills that can be used in both professional settings and daily life. We draw upon current behavioral psychology and the ACT model as an aid to breaking mindfulness meditation into 4 teachable/learnable skill sets that can be applied anytime throughout your day.

The purpose of having this series strictly for professionals is to develop skills and share freely in a professional setting without concern of contact with clients. As you are most likely aware, “mindfulness” and meditation benefits have been cited in many research studies as beneficial in the field, both for our clients/patients/customers and for those providing mental health services. The American Psychological Association states, “Empirical literature demonstrates that including mindfulness interventions in psychotherapy training may help therapists develop skills that make them more effective”. http://www.apa.org/monitor/2012/07-08/ce-corner.aspx
